The Cambridge Brahmin.

Boston Traveller: The Boston brah-
min is a superior being, and he is fear
fully and wonderfully made. Still. he
is exceeded by one other type-the
Cambridge brahmin, who, indeed hath
all things under his feet. A young
Bostonian, who is himself a poet and
not unknown to fame, was at a cam,
bridge reception and had the honor OF
being presented to a Cambridge brah.
min. Something in the turn of con.
versation suggested Boyle O'Reilly,
and this quite too precious brahmin
exclaimed in a languid and aristocrat-
ic tone: "Ah, O'Reilly, think he has
written some little verses, quite clever,
really quite clever they were, don't
you know" The young poet replied
modestly that he believed a good
many people considered them so and,
as ii with sudden remembrance,
added: "You have q man out hel g
who has written some verses, haven't
you? Longnecker-Longman-some
such NAME" hesit;:tingly. "You mean
Prof. Longfellow, replied the Cam.
bridge brahmin, severely.
'"Oh, yes" responded the young
man with an air OF guileless Innocence.

written some quite clever little things,
really quite clever, don't you know.
Is he writing now"
He is dead" replied the superior
being in frozen tones.

Girls Who Went to war.

An Old Army Surgeon, in Chicago Ledger.
l knew a girl who, at the beginning
OF the war was so filled with patriot
ism, and so weighed down by sense
ofduty, socarried away by an adven-
turous impulse that she followed the
squad Of boys who had enlisted in her
neighborhood, and dressing as boy
enlisted in the company that was
forming in the county town. Her
friends, discovering the long hair cut
rom her head, and the clothing she had
thrown off in her fathers barn, gave
immediate pursuit. AS they were
driving into the city, they saw walking
along the sidewalk smoking a cigar a
young fellow who had the same sort OF
face as the girl they were in pursuit Of.
They stopped and accosted the young
fellow, and were treated to such ashow-
er OF eplthets and such an exhibition
OF bravado that they admitted their
mistake and apologized for it. An
hour later one of the party found the
same young fellow deathly sick from
smoking the cigar. He called him by
the girls name, and found that alter
all the young fellow who had done such
hard swearing was the girl they were
looking for. She was taken home, and
afterward entered the service as a hos
pltal nurse. In the last year OF the
war found her again in men clothing
crying as only a broken-hearted WON
an can cry over a light-haired man
shot dead in the charge OF Resaca.
She cared nothing then for exposure,
and went home in a widows dress.
Another girl, I remember, had a.
pleasanter experience, was the ex-
s.mining surgeon at one of the recruit
ing camps early in the war, and ON
one occasion as I passed down the
line OF a company formed in open or
der for muster and inspection, I no.
ticed as the hands were held out one
set that to my practiced eye belonged
to a woman. said nothing at the
time, but after consultation with the
Colonel had the recruit with the femi-
nine hands brought to headquarters.
The bright-looking soldier admitted
IN two minutes that she was woman,
and IN two days she was at home. A
year after that I was at balm Wash
ingron. As [ stood u little aside from
the main party, wishing that I was in
front with the army, q young lady
came toward me, bowed with exagger-
ated stiffness, and as she straitened
up went through the motions OF obey
ing the order: "Eyes right" She offer
ed me her hand, and thanked me for
something that she supposed 1 had
done, and walked away. She was
pretty enough to be the belle of the oc-
casion, and saw that she took con
siderable delight in my confusion of
mind, all of which I understood later
when | learned that she was my recruit
with the lady-like hands. She after
ward told me that she owed me a
debt OF gratitude for stepping in at
the right time to break down her ro-
mantle notions.

Conkling's Wifs's Praise.

When Rosco Conkliug lett the Senate
he was hardened among other things
by friend whose note he had endorsed
for 5000, and the friend failed. Sem
ator Conkling, at great sacratice, raised
the amount and took up the note.
MI. Conkling told a friend not long
since that this debt drew out of him
need of praise which he cherished be-

that she had heard that had Endorsed

she disbelieved the story, and merely
mentioned it that might know the
things that were being said My reply
to her was that the report was some
what in error, because instead Of $685.
600 it was $4,000, for which had be-
come responsible, but I said to her that

A New Revolver.

A new revolver just brought out by
well.known Springfield Mass. firm
is thus described: It's main feature is
a concealed hammer, which, instead OF
being at the top Of the barrel, is en-
closed in the lock frame It is we'll
known to those familiar with the sub.
ject, that most of the accidents with
revolvers arise from the unintention-
al manipulation ofthe hammer; either
it receives blow, or it is allowed to
slip off the thumb in cooking. or it is
caught against the clothing and par
TALLY lifted, when it is at full cock.
The only other fruitful source OF acct
dent IS the unintentional pulling of the
trigger. These liabilities have been
made impossibilities in the new ham
merless revolver. AS the hammer is
concealed, there is no danger Of it's
catching on to any portion of the
clothing and no external force can be
applied to it. The trigger is SO ar
ranged that it cannot be pulled except
by previously pressing a safety lever
In the rear of the lock frame Perhaps
no point III the mechanism of the pis-
tol is more Important than this. 70
be fred the pistol must beheld in the
hand; it will not Ego off, OF itself.
The average child OF ten years has not
reach enough to press the lever and
the trigger unless both hands are used;
so one occasion of much anxiety and
danger is done away with. At present.
only 3S-calibre revolvers have been
made, but work will soon begin on SO
and a. calibre pistols.

Is THEATRE GoERs have had q season of
fun and jolity at the Grand this week
with Dan'l Sully and his superb COM
PAW in s Daddy Nolan and the Cor
ner Grocery" both of these plays were
well presented and attracted large audi
ences. Next week the favorite and tall
ented artists Mr.. and Mrs. w. y. Flor
ence will make their annual visit to the
Grand and present the following roper
tory:
Monday and Tuesday, Our Govern
orr Wednesday and Thursday, "The
Flirt," Friday evening and Saturday
Matinee, mighty Dollar" Wednesday
Matinee and Saturday evening Dom
hey & Son.
There is nosneed to reccommend these
versatile artists, as they are too well
well known to need that at our hands.
The Florences have been espe-
cially secured for fair week and as
crowded houses are the rule where
ever they appear we would advise those
who intend to see them to secure seats
III advance.
ONE,oF the pleasing sights during fair
week will be the st. Paul illuminations
twice as many globes as last year will
be used, and all to be canopied so that it
will be impossible for the wind to ex-
tlngulsh them. The colors have been
so arranged as to make a complete
change at the center Of each block. A
beautiful arch will greet the arrivals at
the union depot, at the corner Of Sibley
and Third. The intersecting arches
will consist of ruby globes, to be sur
mounted by tree of green lights. AT
the top of Third street hill, at Cedar
street, the cross arches will consist of
red, white and blue globes, the whole
to be surmounted by an anchor of lights
ten feet in height. The fukes will be
of ruby globes, and the ring and up
right of blue. This anchor will be made
of small incandescent electric lights.
In the center Of the blocks on either
side are arches of ruby and green
globes. This year the arches at the
street corners will be carried out to the
buildings on either corner. The sup
ports for the electric lights over the
side walks on Third street have been
put in place, and will be illuminated
with colored incandescent lamps. Near
Wabasha and Third streets a band stand
will be erected over the sidewalk, an
other adjoining the Pioneer Press build
ing, and third near the corner of Jack
son and Third streets. These bands
will play from 7:30 to 1890 each evening
during the illumination, these lights will
be tested tonight, and everything for
the illumination will be ready Monday
evening for six nights.

AGREAT GLACIER IN ALASKA.

Elliot F. Shepherd, describing 6 trip to Alaska. says in ihe New York Tribune: "Ihe greatest natural wonder of this .rip IS Muir Glacier in Glacier Bay. This glacier is about sixty miles long. and tive miles from the bay if is about twenty-five miles wide. In its course it IS fed by nine principal and eleven lesser glaciers. This accumulated mass of ice moves by an memorable law through . gate of mountains only two miles wide, piling and tanning itself into turrets and piDnscles from three hundred to a thou sand feet high, grinding the mountains till they have yielded it sand beach of beauty and smoothness. The near mountains are from 2,5OO to 4,OOO feet hIgh; Mount Crillon ten miles away is 16- 900 feet, and Mount Fsirweasher, distant twenty-five miles, is 15,OO0. At its pro- iection into the sea the glacier travels at the rate of forty feet day, avalancbing icebergs into the bay with the sounds of thunde. and earth quake. These retain the splendid blue tints of the parent glacier. when floating around us in great masses, some of them four hundred feet square and standing from fifty to one hundred feet ont of the water. The fall of the ice bergs rocks our boat like Q storm, and we count twenty-six of them at one time
 But the steamer fesrlessly lies to with
 in six hundred feet of the place of met amorphosis from glacier to iceberg, her soundings with her longest hne showing no bottom st l05 fsthoms. When the iceberg is carried from the breast of the glacier il piunges almost out of sight In the sea, and then rises to its full height ss if seeking to regain its place. and again sinks to rise again and again till it finally finds its equilibrium and is car ried away by the wind or tide, or both.
